Adani,Ambani &other corporates had an eye on massive food grain market of India.They had few problems:
Problem 1 :
States had different rules ®ulations 2buy food grains frm farmers. It was difficult 4corporates 2handle so many states with so many different regulations &taxes
Modi Solution:
Took control from states and made 1 act for whole country. Corporates happy now.
Problem 2:
Corporates will buy crops and store them. But Essential Commodity act will stop them for storing crops for long time, as it increase prices in market.
Modi Solution:
Food crops will not come under Essential Commodity act and can be stored for longer period. Corporates again happy.
Problem 3
It was hard to determine that what type of crop will be grown by farmers.
Modi Solution:
Contract farming for farmers where they will be told by corporates to grow what kind of crop. Corporates again happy.
Problem 4 :
How Corporates will handle court cases if anything goes wrong against farmers.
Modi Solution:
Farmers can not go to courts. They will go to SDM and DC.
Corporates again happy as they can bribe them
They say bills are in favor of farmers. ....

A lot has been heard about the farm bills that were recently passed by the Rajya Sabha.
Here’s an attempt to understand WHY it is a matter of concern to the farmers, and WHY are they protesting.
Let’s first understand the bills:
(i) The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020
Acc. to this, the farmers can now sell their produce to non-regulated markets. This means, instead of the farmer having to go to a govt controlled Mandi, they can go directly to say a the buyer.
(ii) The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020:
A buyer & a farmer can have a contract in place much before the production even commences.
